Dixon Valve RGB26 Boss 2" Ground Joint Stem 316 Stainless Steel

Features with all otional accessories:

• The stem part that is clamped to the hose is one half of the Boss Grount Joint connection. The Boss Ground Joint spud part of the coupling serves as the other half and is usually fixed to the equipment. The two halves are connected or disconnected by rotating the wing nut on the spud. When connected they achieve both a mechanical, and a pressure seal.
• Leakproof seal forms when the metal head of the stem makes contact with the patented polymer seat in the Boss Ground Joint spud.
• Easy to seal
• Recommended for steam service up to 450°F (232°C).

Applications

• Boss couplings are all-purpose hose couplings, universally recommended for steam hose connections. They are also widely used for air, water, fluid petroleum, chemicals and liquid petroleum gas.
• Boss couplings can be applied to many types of rubber, synthetic, plastic, metallic or semi-metallic hose.

Use

• Boss Ground Joint Complete couplings supply a convenient threaded fitting to connect two lengths of hose, or a single length to a male or female threaded outlet.
• Use with Boss Clamps

Safety notes

• Not to be used with #250, #275 or #306 Boss clamps
• Worn-out hose couplings can be dangerous. They should be checked regularly and replace when necessary. Each coupling user should review applications and add safety devices where indicated.
• Note. Pressurized steam is an extremely dangerous commodity. Only hose, fittings, clamps and accessory items that have been approved for steam service should ever be used! Never use an unapproved item for steam service.
